R2X-it's the industry's most innovative stain and soil repelling system and
the product of years of research and testing. Shaw's patented and exclusive
R2X system goes beyond conventional repellents that only protect the surface
of the carpet. With R2X, carpets are armed with total fiber coverage, offering
complete protection from the top to the bottom of the yarn. This total fiber
coverage offers unprecedented protection against household spills and everyday
soiling. With R2X, spills that reach the base of the yarn don't penetrate and
wick back to the top as they do with conventional solutions.

In testing, R2X demonstrated superior stain resistance on two levels. First,
it provides better initial protection. Second, it allows more time to react to
a problem.

Another significant benefit of R2X is its effectiveness with
polypropylene. Most polypropylene carpets have an inherent tendency to attract
soil. Topical soil treatments are only "skin deep," and the limited protection
they offer wears away after cleaning or normal wear and tear. In contrast, R2X
continues to perform well even after repeated cleanings-with both nylon and
polypropylene-when the performance of ordinary systems begins to diminish.
And of course, Shaw's warranty protection ensures customer satisfaction, time
after time.
